About
Who builds Syncopy, and what is actually proven
Last updated 2 October 2026
Syncopy is made by one person who trades futures on Tradovate across several prop firm accounts, and who built it because the thing he wanted did not exist. That is the whole organisation. This page says what is running on real money today, what is not proven yet, and how the comparisons elsewhere on this site are kept honest — because a tool that touches funded accounts should be judged on checkable claims rather than on a brand.
Why it exists
Running the same decision across several prop firm accounts by hand is slow and easy to get wrong. The tools on offer were monthly subscriptions that routed orders through someone else's servers, priced per connection or per account, so the bill grew exactly as the setup grew. What was missing was something that ran on the trader's own machine and was bought once.
So it got built, for the maker's own accounts first. Everything on this site follows from that: it is a tool that someone uses daily on their own money, not a product looking for a market.
What is proven, and what is not
This matters more than a feature list, and almost no product in this category states it. As of October 2026:
- LiveCopying one leader to one follower. Running on the maker's own funded and evaluation accounts since July 2026. Most of what has been fixed since then was found on real trades, not in testing.
- LivePer-account risk, the journal, fee tracking and the calendar. In daily use, built from actual fills.
- In testingMore than one follower at a time. Being validated now against a set of real accounts. Until that is finished, nothing on this site claims a number of accounts as a capability — the licence not capping them is a pricing fact, not a proven one.
- PlannedA TopstepX connection and a macOS build. Neither exists yet. TopstepX falls inside version 1, so it is covered by the one-time purchase.
Syncopy is not for sale yet, and that is the reason. Finding the remaining problems with one person's own money is better than finding them with someone else's.
How the comparisons here are maintained
Several pages on this site compare Syncopy with other copiers, or list what prop firms allow. Those are useful only if they are accurate, so they follow fixed rules:
- Prices come from the vendor's own pricing page, and the table says which month each figure was checked. Where something could not be re-checked, that is stated rather than hidden.
- Prop firm policies come from the firm's own published rules or written confirmation from their support, with a source link and a date on every row. The prop firm rules matrix exists for exactly this.
- Nothing is based on a competitor's claim about another competitor. That layer of the market is mostly marketing written by the products being compared.
- No speed claims. No milliseconds, no "faster than cloud". Latency depends on your machine, your connection and the market at that moment, and a number measured on someone else's desk tells you nothing about yours.
- Where a free option is better, it says so. Tradovate's own Group Trade is free and, for several setups, the right answer.
If something here is out of date or wrong, saying so is genuinely welcome — it gets corrected and the date on the page changes.
What Syncopy is not
- Not a signal service. Nobody else's trades are copied into your accounts. It mirrors orders you place yourself, between accounts you own.
- Not an automated strategy. It does not decide when to trade.
- Not affiliated with Tradovate, NinjaTrader or any prop firm, and not on any firm's approved-copier list. Whether a copier is permitted is your firm's decision, and those rules differ and change.
- Not financial advice, and not a promise that any of this makes money.
Frequently asked
Who builds Syncopy?
One person, based in the Netherlands, who trades futures on Tradovate across several prop firm accounts. There is no team and no company page, because there is no team. Syncopy was built because the tools on offer were monthly subscriptions that routed orders through someone else's servers, and the alternative did not exist.
Has Syncopy been tested with real money?
Yes, on the maker's own live accounts since July 2026, with one leader account and one follower. Most of what has been fixed since then was found on real trades rather than in testing. Copying across more than one follower at a time is being validated now and is not yet proven, which is one reason the product has not been released.
How are the comparisons on this site kept accurate?
Prices come from each vendor's own published pricing page, with the month they were checked stated next to the table. Prop firm policies come from each firm's published rules or written confirmation from their support, with a source link and a date per row. Nothing is based on a competitor's marketing claim about another competitor, and no page makes a speed claim, because none of those are verifiable from outside.
Why is there no name on the site?
Syncopy is published under the product name rather than a personal one for now. What matters for judging a tool that touches funded accounts is whether its claims can be checked, and every factual claim on this site carries a source and a date for exactly that reason. Questions go to hello@syncopy.app and are answered by the person who writes the code.
What is Syncopy not?
It is not a signal service: no one else's trades are copied to your accounts. It is not a managed account or an automated strategy; it mirrors orders you place yourself. It is not financial advice, and it is not affiliated with Tradovate, NinjaTrader, or any prop firm. Whether a copier is permitted is set by your own firm, and those rules differ and change.
